EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

BACKGROUND

The preliminary evaluation of the potential benefits of in-vehicle information systems was conducted by an Institute of Transportation Studies research team in 1988 and 1989 using the computer programs, FREQ and TRANSYT to model the Smart Corridor in Los Angeles, California. Out of that study came recommendations for future research on the need for more realistic simulation of the interaction between the freeway and parallel arterials. A study was conducted in 1990 to assess which models were suitable to evaluate in-vehicle information systems within an integrated freeway/arterial corridor. Twenty-four models were identified as being potentially suitable. Of the 24 models identified, three were recommended for further analysis and application: CONTRAM, SATURN, and INTEGRATION. OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this study were to select a traffic assignment and simulation model, apply that model to an integrated freeway/arterial network such as the Smart Corridor in Los Angeles, California, and, using the model, make an initial evaluation of in-vehicle information systems and the applicability of the model. APPROACH

The approach consisted of first evaluating of the CONTRAM, SATURN, and INTEGRATION models and then selecting of one of the models for a detailed analysis of the features which would be best suited to this particular application. The next step was an initial application of the selected model to a generic network and then the Smart Corridor. The final steps in the study were to make an assessment of the model, present major findings of the study, and describe the potential for future research. RESULTS

After review of the CONTRAM, SATURN, and INTEGRATION models, the CONTRAM model was chosen for further evaluation. Since the CONTRAM model was primarily developed for use in the design of traffic management schemes for urban signalized arterial networks, further analysis into the models ability to model freeway congestion was necessary. In order to gain a more clear understanding of the freeway modelling characteristics within CONTRAM, several test networks were designed and evaluated and as a result problems were discovered regarding the ability of the model to accurately reflect freeway congestion. However, an analysis ensued to evaluate the potential benefits of in-vehicle 1

information systems. The results of the study should be viewed with some caution due to difftculties with the freeway modelling characteristics of CONTRAM, as well as weaknesses within the characteristics of the network and structure of the demand pattern. The results are best considered in a qualitative manner with the findings being, the more vehicles that are equipped with in-vehicle information, the better the system performance. For a severe incident condition on the freeway, as the percentage of vehicles equipped with information increases, the performance of the system improves until the system is at a level of performance that is only slightly less than that before the incident occurred.

INTRODUCTION

This report describes the results of the study team’s efforts to:

1.1

1)

select a traffic assignment and simulation model;

2)

apply that model to an integrated freeway/arterial network such as the Smart Corridor in Los Angeles, California; and,

3)

using the model, make an initial evaluation of in-vehicle information systems and the applicability of the model.

Background

As traffic congestion increases worldwide, attempts are being made at improving the efficiency of the existing systems through the use of information available through computers. Past research has indicated that up to $45 billion per year is lost due to excess travel time which could be recovered if there was a more efficient transportation system that used navigational systems [ 11. Several researchers have attempted to make a quantitative assessment of in-vehicle information systems [2]. Most previous studies have been network specific, i.e., the benefits of in-vehicle information systems were related only to the network in question. This holds true for this particular application as well. For this study, the integrated freeway/arterial network chosen for modelling was the Smart Corridor in Los Angeles, California.

1.2

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to select an appropriate traffic assignment and simulation to evaluate invehicle information systems. After the appropriate model was selected, an initial application to the Smart Corridor was conducted and a second and third application were undertaken to simulate an incident on the freeway. Varied percentages of in-vehicle information systems were then modelled which permitted an initial evaluation of the applicability of the model.

1.3

Scope and Study Approach

Based on previous research (Al-Deek, Martello, Sanders and May [3]), it was determined that an equilibrium model combining traffic simulation, control, and assignment was desirable for evaluating the potential benefits of in-vehicle information systems in an integrated freeway/arterial corridor. Thus, a study was begun to evaluate the models available for the task of evaluating in-vehicle information systems. This project is an extension of the original work by May in 1986 [3]. Chapter 2 of this report outlines the history and background of this and previous studies. Chapter 3 describes the evaluation of the CONTRAM, SATURN, and INTEGRATION models. Chapter 4 discusses in more detail the features in CONTRAM that were best suited for application in this study. Chapter 5 describes the Smart Corridor and the features that made it particularly attractive to be used in the modelling process. Chapter 6 describes the initial applications of the CONTRAM model to both a generic freeway segment, and the freeway segment to be used in the entire corridor. Chapter 7 outlines the design of the experiment and how a reference-base-run assignment was derived. Chapter 8 gives a description of incident modelling within CONTRAM. Chapter 9 presents the analysis findings and results, while Chapter 10 summarizes an assessment of the model and the modelling effort and discusses the potential for future research.

PREVIOUS RESEARCH

Since the early 1980’s much research has been conducted in the area of in-vehicle information systems [4 - 91. One of the primary objectives of much of this research has been to provide a quantitative assessment of in-vehicle information value in a real-world freeway corridor under recurring and nonrecurring congestion.

2.1

1987-1989

The history of this study dates back to 1987. PATH Research Report UCB-ITS-PRR-88-2 [3] details the initial attempts at understanding the Potential Benefits of In-Vehicle Information Systems in a Real Life Freeway Corridor under Recurring and Incident-Znduced Congestion. This initial attempt was conducted using the simulation models FREQ and TRANSYT-7F. The Santa Monica freeway corridor was simulated based on data collected by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and Caltrans from 1984 to 1988. Since TRANSYT-7F and FREQ do not perform traffic assignment, a network model was developed called PATHNET. PATHNET was utilized to determine the travel times for the shortest path between any origin and destination point in the network or for any other path in the network. PATHNET is a prototype version of a generalized network analysis package. PATHNET prints a report listing the links in the minimum-cost path and the cumulative route cost for each link. Thus, the research team was able to assess the potential benefits by comparing travel times between different origin and destination pairs under different scenarios. The results of the study were as follows [3, 10-111: 0

under the recurring, non-incident congestion scenario, the travel time savings were generally negligible (less than three minutes for a 20-25 minute trip);

0

under the non-recurring, incident congestion scenario, travel time savings were found to be significant (greater than three minutes);

0

the greatest travel time savings occur during the time slices following the introduction of a freeway incident.

One recognized weakness with the earlier study was the fact that the user equilibrium issue was not addressed. To address this weakness, a traffic assignment model which combines traffic assignment with 5

simulation was chosen as the tool for evaluation which achieves user equilibrium through each assignment. Thus, the first objective of this study was to find a model that could model an integrated freeway/arterial network and also combine traffic assignment with simulation.

2.2

1989-1990 RESEARCH

The 1989-1990 research focused on the modelling approaches for evaluating advanced traffic control strategies and in-vehicle information systems within an integrated network of traffic signals and freeways. Efforts included a literature review of candidate freeway/arterial models. An assessment of model suitability was carried out in order to determine if any existing model would be potentially suitable, the specific modifications needed to be included in a reasonable level of effort, or the specifications that would be required for developing a new model. The approach consisted of a literature review and preliminary assessment of candidate models, an in-depth evaluation of the most promising models, and the selection of a few models for further analysis and testing. The literature review resulted in the identification of twenty-four candidate models, classified into four categories:

1)

Transportation planning models: MINUTP, Tmodel, TRANPLAN, CARS, MICROTRIPS, EMME2, MULATM;

2)

Freeway operation models: FREQ, INTRAS, MACK-FREFLO-FRECON, KRONOS, FREESIM, ROADRUNNER;

3)

Signalized network operation models: TRAFFICQ, MICRO-ASSIGNMENT, SATURN, CONTRAM, JAM;

4)

Freeway/arterial operation models: CORQlC, SCOT, TRAFLO, DYNEV, CORQCORCON, INTEGRATION.

A preliminary screening process (summarized in Table 2.1) indicated that only five of the models chosen were capable of simultaneously performing traffic assignment and traffic simulation under oversaturated conditions, which were considered as two essential features for the purposes of this study. For three of these models (INTEGRATION, SATURN and CONTRAM), an in-depth evaluation was carried out, including tabular summaries of the characteristics of each model, rating of the performance of each model and the corresponding strengths and weaknesses, and a discussion on model suitability with regard to our application. A final report describing the 1989/1990 activities was published in June 1990 [12]. It was 6

recommended that the three selected models be acquired in order to perform a hands-on experiment and assessment.

3.0 MODEL EVALUATION

The main features of the CONTRAM, SATURN and INTEGRATION models are highlighted in this chapter and a demonstration of SATURN and CONTRAM is described.

3.1 CONTRAM CONTRAM is a traffic assignment model developed by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory for use in the design of traffic management schemes in urban areas. CONTRAMS (Continuous Traffic Assignment model Version 5) is the latest version of the CONTRAM program which was originally written in the early 1970s. Given the traffic demands between origins and destinations for a network, it predicts routes of vehicles and flows and queues on links. It is a capacity restrained model which takes account of the interactive effects of trafftc between intersections and the variation through time of traffic conditions. In particular, CONTRAM models the build up and decay of congestion such as occurs during peak periods.

3.1.1 Basic Structure [13] The overall structure and suite of programs in CONTRAM is outlined in Figure 3.1. The inputs are the network data, the traffic demand data, and the control data. The bases of the program are the assignment process, which calculates and stores vehicle route information, and the calculation through time of the delays on links derived from the flows and queues of vehicles.

3.1.2 Input Data Requirements [13] The three major components of input to the model are the network and time data, the demand data, and the control data. The following pages outline the characteristics of these three areas. 3.1.2.1

Network and Time Data

This defines the period to be simulated and the geometric properties of the network. The following provides a description of the basic card types used in the CONTRAM model.

.

Card type 1 is the time card which defines the duration of the simulation period and the time intervals into which the period is divided. The maximum number of time intervals is 13 while the maximum duration of a simulation period is eight hours. Card type 2 defines the general parameters of the network. It sets the values of certain network parameters used for the estimation of storage capacity on a link, to specify signal lost time for capacity calculations and to select the separate calculation of geometric delay at intersections. Card type 3 defines the links to which an origin is connected. Card types 4, 5, and 6 define the type of control used at link junctions. Card type 4 represents an uncontrolled link. It gives detail required for an uncontrolled link: cruise time (or cruise speed, or speedflow relationship to be used), length, saturation flow, storage capacity. Card type 5 represents give-way links. Card type 6 represents signal-controlled links and has the same basic requirements as card type 4 plus percentage green and delay factors. Card type 7 defines the speed-flow relationships. Speed/flow relationships have been incorporated to be used on roads where cruise time is a significant proportion of total time, e.g. on urban freeways and other limited-access high speed urban roads. The effect of a speed/flow relationship is in addition to explicit queuing at the downstream end of the link to which it applies. The general form of speed/flow relationships used by CONTRAM consists of two linear sections of different slope. The exact form is determined by entering as data three points:

1) 2)

3)

the free speed, where flow is zero the break point, where the slope changes the capacity point, which is a point through which the second section passes.

Card type 8 is the change of mind card, which allows the user to vary values of a parameter without changing the original data cards. Card type 9 defines the vehicle classes used in the simulation. The card specifies passenger car unit equivalents and relative cruise times for each vehicle type. The model distinguishes three classes of vehicle, car, bus, and trucks. Card type 10 defines the coefficients of the fuel model, which is based on the following formula for fuel consumption per unit distance at steady speed V:

11

F=A+(B/V)+(C*V'+) Card types 11 and 12 allow the saturation flow value on a link to be varied from time interval to time interval, for example to allow the effect of an accident to be simulated. Card type 13 allows the calculation of a geometric delay due to deceleration and acceleration at an intersection. CONTRAM 5 provides the option to calculate the geometric delay explicitly for each separate turning movement. Card types 14, 15 and 16 set the speeds for turning movements out of individual links. Card type 18 defines the range of allowed destination numbers. 3.1.2.2

Traffic Demand Data

The traffic demand data specifies the flow rate during each time interval for each origin-destination movement. The traffic demand for each origin-destination movement in a network is specified as a series of flow rates (veh/h) for each time interval. For a given O-D pair, one data card is used for each classified vehicle demand (C, B or L). The card also contains: 0

0 0

the packet size, which can be generated automatically; the “straight-line” distance between the origin and destination (optional); the start-code (time of start of the first packet from the O-D demand to enter the network in the first time interval).

It is possible to model the movements of more than one demand for the same class of vehicle, between the same origin and destination, by using separate cards, or the change of mind card. The change of mind cards can be used to change specified flow rates. 3.1.2.3

Control Data

The data in the control data pack has two control functions. The first, describing the running of the program, defines the number of iterations to be carried out and the types of output required. The second provides the additional data required for signalized intersections. The data required for vehicles with fixed routes are also specified in this pack. 0

Cost parameters are specified by the following card types: 0

0 0

Card type 61: Perceived cost output units Card type 62: Perceived cost functions Card types 63 and 64: Resource cost functions

The perceived cost is the cost that is perceived by drivers which they seek to minimize by their route choice. The resource cost is assumed to represent the real cost of travel and in CONTRAM, is purely an output quantity which has no effect on route choice. In CONTRAM, the functional form of both perceived and resource cost is C = Ad + Bt + C?*d which expresses cost C in terms of distance d, time t and average speed v.

3.2 SATURN SATURN (Simulation and Assignment of Traffic to Urban Road Networks) is a computer model developed at the Institute for Transportation Studies, University of Leeds, for the analysis and evaluation of traffic management schemes over relatively localized networks (typically of the order of 100 to 150 intersections) [ 151. It is primarily intended to be used as a highly sophisticated traffic assignment model. This sophistication is due to a highly detailed simulation of delays at intersections. Unlike conventional assignment models, SATURN places great emphasis on intersections and specific turning movements as opposed to links.

3.2.1 Basic Structure The basic structure of SATURN incorporates two phases, as shown in Figure 3.3, a simulation and an assignment phase [ 151.

a set of target link counts, which may be time-dependent and disaggregated by the three CONTRAM vehicle classes; a set of prior O-D movements and routes, in the form of a CONTRAM-type route file containing the routes and times of a number of packets.

4.3 RODIN [20]

RODIN is an external software developed by Nick Taylor (TRRL) and intended to be used in relation with CONTRAM to simulate route guidance. This program converts a packet route file output by CONTRAM into an O-D matrix and a set of routes which it embeds as fixed routes in a copy of the network file. The O-D movements are duplicated and each set is preceded by a percentage multiplying or split factor. When rerun using the new network and O-D files as data, the first set of 0-Ds is assigned on the fixed routes (i.e. along the original routes), while the second set is assigned to minimum cost routes in the usual way. This provides a framework in which experiments involving two user classes (guided and unguided vehicles) can be performed. The use of RODIN in relation with CONTRAM is highlighted in Figure 4.4. RODIN is designed to perform the basic operations described above. In addition to these functions, it provides: 0

a choice of methods for setting packet sizes; alternate vehicle class for the second set of 0-Ds; randomization of the output O-D counts.

SMART CORRIDOR

Five key factors led to the decision whereby the Smart Corridor in Los Angeles, California would be used as the integrated freeway/arterial network in the CONTRAM simulation of the potential benefits of in-vehicle information systems.

1) 2)

3) 4)

5.1

The availability of a good database in terms of traffic counts, arterial geometric considerations, average arterial and freeway travel times, and freeway capacity calibrations. The size of the corridor and the fact that the corridor is experiencing traffic congestion and incidents occur regularly. The interest and continued assistance of CALTRANS and the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation. The Pathfinder in-vehicle motorist information and road navigation project that is currently underway within the corridor.

Database

As mentioned previously, this project is a continuance of an earlier project [3]: the database used in the earlier project provided the vast majority of information used in setting up the CONTRAM model. Due to time and resource constraints, and since the earlier project had only evaluated the morning peak period, it was determined that the morning peak period would be used in all analyses. The morning peak period captures mostly work trips; therefore, people are typically more time conscious. Additionally, the morning peak period provides a more defined peak period as well as the fact that the arterials have more available capacity in the morning peak hours. Demand data was provided to the earlier research effort by the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation and Caltrans.

5.1.1 Supply Parameters To properly code the network into the CONTRAM model it was important that the supply side of the Smart Corridor be coded properly. These supply parameters consist of the link distance, the cruise speed on each link, and the number of lanes and the ideal saturation flows per link for each intersection approach. The saturation flows used on each link were a result of the earlier research team’s effort to calibrate the model. Table 5.1 summarizes the general guidelines established for the saturation flows.

The ideal saturation flow for a shared through-left movement was calculated by reducing the ideal saturation flow for an exclusive left turn movement by applying a left turn factor. This factor was determined from utilization of Chapter 9 of the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual[21]. An absolute minimum of 450 vphgpl was used as a result of the advice from the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation. The ideal saturation flows for exclusive left-turn movements with permitted phasing was calculated based upon the relationship of the exclusive left permitted saturation flow rate versus the opposing flow rate. Once again, the saturation flows were determined from Chapter 9 of the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual [21]. As before for shared through-left movements, an absolute minimum of 450 vphgpl was used on advice of the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation.

5.1.2 Control Parameters The control parameters required for the CONTRAM model consist of the signal timing data. Information such as interval lengths, minimum phase durations, cycle lengths, offsets/yield points, reference intervals, type of signal control, and phase sequencing were all obtained from the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation.

5.2

Size of the Corridor and Traffic Congestion

The Santa Monica Freeway in Los Angeles is considered to be one of the most congested freeways in the world. As one of eight freeways which provides direct access to the downtown Los Angeles area, the

39

Santa Monica Freeway is also.the only facility which connects the west side of Los Angeles to the central downtown region. The Santa Monica Freeway is the only east-west freeway between the Santa Monica Mountains to the north and the Artesia Freeway to the south, a distance of approximately 13 miles. The five major arterials, Olympic, Pica, Venice, Washington and Adams Boulevards are connected to the freeway by approximately 15 major north-south streets. Figure 5.1 displays a map of the entire corridor. The principal’cause of traffic congestion is the peak hour(s) travel demands. Although the Santa Monica Freeway is four to five lanes in each direction, the travel demand during the peak hours still exceeds the amount of available freeway capacity. Daily traffic volumes on the freeway range from a low of approximately 180,000 to a high of nearly 315,000 close to the downtown area. Stop-and-go conditions exist daily during the peak hours on the freeway, where the average speeds throughout the corridor on the freeway are often below 35 miles per hour in both directions. Traffic on the parallel arterials is different from that on the freeway. Olympic Boulevard carries the most traffic of the five parallel arterials with a range of approximately 14,000 vehicles per day to nearly 32,000 vehicles per day near Century City. Adams Boulevard is the least travelled arterial with volumes ranging from 2,600 vehicles per day to nearly 11,000 vehicles per day. Adams, Washington and Venice Boulevards have significant amounts of unused capacity. Therefore, the arterials offer a considerable savings over the freeway in terms of travel time, especially when an incident occurs on the freeway. Thus, diverting freeway traffic to one of the major arterials in an incident scenario is a high priority of the Smart Corridor Demonstration Project.

5.4

Pathfinder

Pathfinder is an experimental project designed to test the feasibility of using the latest technological devices to assist motorists in avoiding traffic congestion. The Smart Corridor is the test bed for the project. The project provides drivers of specially equipped General Motors Oldsmobile Eighty-Eights, real-time information about accidents, congestion, highway construction, and alternate routes. The invehicle motorist information and road navigation system demonstration project is being sponsored by Caltrans, the Federal Highway Administration and General Motors. Since the objective of this research is to determine the potential benefits of in-vehicle information systems using the CONTRAM model, meaningful results may be used at some point to compare with those to come out of the Pathfinder demonstration project. Thus, any results found from this research may be compared with “real-world“ results to make a more definitive determination as to what the potential benefits may be since each project is using the Smart Corridor as its test bed.

INITIAL MODEL APPLICATION

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the initial applications of the CONTRAM model to the Smart Corridor with particular emphasis on freeway performance modelling. The freeway performance modelling was found to be more difficult than originally anticipated and required a number of modifications which are described in this chapter. The freeway performance modelling undertaken for a simple directional freeway is presented first, and then the modelling of the I-10 Santa Monica Freeway is discussed. The CONTRAM model was primarily developed for use in the design of traffic management schemes for urban signalized arterial networks. As mentioned in Chapter 4, CONTRAM has the ability to represent limited access and buffer network roads. The speed flow relationships represent the relationship between average speed and flow on roads where cruise time is a significant proportion of total time and journey times on links in a buffer network in order to simulate the general effects of capacity restraint. A standard COBA type speed/flow relationship is used whereby two linear sections of different slopes, one representing the break point speed/flow and the second representing the capacity point speed/flow are used. In order to gain a more clear understanding of the freeway modelling characteristics within CONTRAM, a linear test segment of freeway was designed. To evaluate the characteristics of the CONTRAM model, both manual calculations and the FREQ model were chosen as tools for calibration. The FREQ family of freeway simulation models has been in existence since the 1960’s [22]. Both manual calculations and the FREQ model were used in the I-10 calibration process. FREQ is a macroscopic deterministic simulation model in which time can be broken into equal discrete time-slices and the directional freeway segment divided into homogeneous subsets with demands and capacities remaining constant during each time slice . Merging and weaving analysis, when selected, follows the 1965 Highway Capacity Manual procedures. A limitation to the FREQ model is that freeway congestion can only begin and end at boundaries between time slices. The queue contour maps in FREQ provide a picture of both bottleneck locations and queue lengths over both time and space. The speed contour maps also provide a picture of speeds in the queue in the bottleneck and for every subsection over time and space. The criteria for freeway calibration were based on three key considerations. The first consideration was that CONTRAM identified the bottlenecks in the same subsections as those determined by manual calculations and shown in FREQ. The second consideration was that of queue length. Once the bottlenecks were identified and located properly, queue lengths were evaluated to see whether CONTRAM had the proper queue lengths as shown in the manual calculations and determined by FREQ. The third consideration in the freeway calibration process was that of freeway speeds in terms of free flow speeds, speeds at the bottleneck, and speeds within the congestion. 42

6.1

Linear Test Freeway Segment

In an attempt to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the operation of the CONTRAM model as it relates to freeway operations, a simple linear test freeway segment was created as shown in Figure 6.1. The test freeway segment is 8,100 feet long with five subsections and nine time slices. Figure 6.1 also presents the ‘time slice demands as well as the capacities assumed for each subsection. In the test segment, the first subsection through the third subsection is composed of three lanes. The fourth subsection is two lanes with a length of 100 feet. The fifth and last sub-section is composed of three lanes and is 2000 feet long. The capacity of each lane of the freeway is assumed to be 2000 passenger vehicles per hour. The demands were set to create queuing at the bottleneck in the fourth time slice. All queuing would dissipate by the beginning of the ninth time slice. A manual shock wave analysis was conducted to predict queue lengths and speeds in each subsection during each time slice. The complete results of the analysis are contained in Appendix D. Figure 6.2 displays the shock wave and speed information in km/hr by time slice and subsection. In Figure 6.2 the shock wave can be seen beginning in subsection three at the beginning of time slice four. At the end of time slice six and beginning of time slice seven, the queue reaches its longest at approximately 700 meters. The shock wave ends during time slice eight. Figure 6.3 presents the speeds and shock wave as predicted by CONTRAM. As seen in the figure, the speeds predicted by CONTRAM do not match those from the manual calculations. The queue pattern does not identically match that of the manual calculations either. Several key reasons for the differences between the manual analysis and the CONTRAM output deserve mention. It should be noted that because the CONTRAM model is macroscopic and sends vehicles through the system in packets, not all packets make it through each subsection during each time slice. To identify the bottleneck in the proper subsection, the approach used was to code the saturation flow of a link as the capacity of the downstream link. This technique is theoretically correct since the saturation flow of each link is measured as the throughput capacity of that link. Thus, in this particular application the bottleneck was properly identified in sub-section four. The key input to calibrate queue lengths is the minimum distance headway. Since the CONTRAM model is designed for arterials, an estimated storage capacity is calculated by the program based on a minimum distance headway that is either provided by the program or input by the user. The default provided within the model for the minimum headway distance is 5.75 meters. The minimum distance headway directly determines the densities that are represented on the freeway. Since freeway densities are much lower than those at an intersection, the minimum distance headway in the CONTRAM model must be 43

manipulated to create densities that more closely reflect those that are observed on freeway segments. The storage capacity of each link determines the amount of queuing each sub section can handle. Table 6.1 illustrates the conversion of distance headway in meters to densities in vehicles per mile per lane. The minimum distance headway input by the user is universal over all links, thus densities cannot be changed at each link. Through a series of tests for the specific linear freeway segment under investigation in this study, the minimum distance headway of 20 meters was determined to most effectively represent queue lengths as found in the manual calculations.

To more realistically represent speeds on the linear test segment as determined in the manual calculations, the speed flow relationship curve as specified in CONTRAM was modified in conjunction with the input cruise speeds. The most effective method of replicating speeds determined by the manual calculations was to use the speed-flow relationships only at the bottleneck and one subsection downstream from the bottleneck. As mentioned previously, CONTRAM has the ability to model high speed limited access roads through the use of a speed-flow curve. Figures 6.4 and 6.5 present the speed flow curves that were 47

used to best replicate the results as found in the manual analysis for the bottleneck and downstream section. The speed flow curve is a replication of the COBA curve used in the CONTRAM model as described in Chapter 4. As shown in the figures, V, represents the point at which the highest level of flow is observed. Vb represents the break point speed and V, represents the speed at which the speedflow relationship predicts an inter-vehicle headway equal to the minimum distance headway as input from the user. The curves shown in Figures 6.4 and 6.5 are those that provided the best results in terms of matching the ‘queue lengths and speeds as derived from the manual calculations. In the subsections without the speed flow relationships the cruise speed of 92 km/hr was used. The free flow speeds on each link do not match because the model truncates the mean time per vehicle in seconds on the link and does not represent a constant free flow speed. The speed flow relationship that CONTRAM uses for modelling high speed limited access roads does not allow for modelling traffic congestion. That is, the speed-flow relationship only obeys the upper limb of the true speed flow relationship on a freeway. Thus, the speeds as output from CONTRAM do not obey the speed-flow relationship as input to the program in congestion. The method CONTRAM uses for calculating free flow speeds does not provide for a constant speed across all free flowing links. Additionally, for congested links, the speeds as represented by the model are much too high. This has been identified as a problem and is something that needs to be addressed in future research efforts if CONTRAM is to be used to represent a freeway segment. Although freeway conditions could be represented somewhat realistically through the use of the procedures described in the previous paragraphs, a question regarding the influence of freeway ramps on bottlenecks and other sections of the freeway remained unanswered. To help answer some of the remaining questions regarding the operation of the model another linear test freeway segment was introduced. However, this time a real life freeway corridor was used. The Santa Monica Freeway in Los Angeles, California was modelled in the eastbound direction to reach a better understanding of the operations of the CONTRAM model. For comparison purposes, the FREQ model was also applied.

6.2

Smart Corridor Freeway Modelling

The eastbound section of the twelve mile Santa Monica Freeway was the next segment used in the freeway calibration process. The network consists of 32 subsections with 16 on-ramps and 15 off-ramps. The demand data consists of 17 origins and 16 destinations over eight 30 minute time slices. The network and demand information is shown in Figures 6.6 and 6.7. The elements that were given special consideration in this process were; bottleneck location, queue length, and average speeds.

As seen in the table, the major bottlenecks were identified in subsections 14 and 29. Each freeway subsection was coded as an uncontrolled link in the CONTRAM network while the on-ramps were coded as signalized links with 100 percent green time. The first approach was to code the saturation flow of a link as the capacity of the downstream link. This technique is theoretically correct since the saturation flow of each link is measured as the throughput capacity of that link. The results obtained from this technique did not closely resemble the results provided by FREQ. A possible explanation for the discrepancies could be the ramp merge and diverge points and their influence on capacity. The second approach was to input the capacity of each subsection from FREQ as the saturation flow. This technique led to the results shown in Table 6.3. As shown in the figure, the bottlenecks were usually identified one subsection downstream from those in the FREQ runs.

The comparison between Tables 6.2 and 6.3 shows that CONTRAM typically identifies bottlenecks one subsection downstream from those of FREQ, and there does not seem to be a way of modifying CONTRAM to model it correctly. The next objective was to obtain the queue patterns as produced by FREQ. Queue length patterns are directly affected by the storage capacities input in the CONTRAM network file. As mentioned previously, the minimum distance headway in CONTRAM determines the optimum densities that will be replicated on each link. For this particular application, the minimum distance headway which provided the queue pattern which most closely resembled those provided by FREQ was found to be 50 meters or a density of 32 vehicles per mile per lane. Figure 6.8 shows the queuing patterns from both FREQ and CONTRAM. While not perfect, this was the closest agreement based on modifying the minimum distance headway.

6.2.2 Average Speeds

Figure 6.9 shows the speeds predicted by FREQ. When calibrating the speeds predicted by CONTRAM, two key elements must be considered: free-flow speeds and speed-flow relationships. A uniform freeway free-flow speed of 85 km/h (53 mph) was adopted. Based on the conclusions of Section 6.1 and trial and error, speed-flow relationships were only used in the bottleneck subsections (14, 22 and 30) after the bottleneck locations were identified by a first run. As seen in Figure 6.9, once again CONTRAM predicts speeds within the congestion that are much too high. The speeds one subsection downstream from the bottleneck are too high. It is unclear just how much influence the freeway on-and off-ramps have on the speeds as determined by the model. Further analysis is required to determine the precise amount of influence on-and off-ramps have on average speeds. 6.2.3 Overall Summary Measures

6.2.4 Conclusions The freeway calibration process focused on three major elements of freeway operations. The first element consisted of identifying freeway bottlenecks in the appropriate subsection. It was determined that for a simple network with no on-and off-ramps to identify the bottleneck in the proper subsection, it was necessary to code the saturation flow of a link as the capacity of the downstream link. This technique is theoretically correct since the saturation flow of each link is measured as the throughput capacity of that link. However, for a freeway section with a number of on-and off-ramps this technique did not prove effective and the bottlenecks were identified one subsection downstream. 2)

Once the bottlenecks were identified and located properly, queue lengths were evaluated to see whether or not CONTRAM had comparable queue lengths to those estimated by the manual calculations and determined by FREQ. The key input to calibrate queue lengths is the minimum distance headway. Since the CONTRAM model is designed for arterials, an estimated storage capacity is calculated by the program based on a minimum distance headway that is either provided by the program or input by the user. The default provided within the model for the minimum headway distance is 5.75 meters. The minimum distance headway directly determines the densities which in turn determine the storage capacity of each link. The storage capacity of each link directly influences the queue lengths found throughout the network. For the first linear test segment a value of 20 meters was used, while in the eastbound Santa Monica Test Segment, a value of 50 meters was used.

3)

The third consideration in the freeway calibration process was that of freeway speeds. This is the area of most concern. In free flow conditions, the freeway speeds could be approximated through the use of the speed-flow curve and also as input by the cruise speed. However, for congested conditions, the speeds represented by the CONTRAM model are not realistic. The speeds within the queues are much too high and the speeds at the bottleneck can only be approximated at best through the use of the speed flow relationship.

DESIGN OF THE EXPERIMENT, REFERENCE BASE ASSIGNMENT, SIMULATION AND VALIDATION

This chapter describes the design of experiment as well as the steps undertaken to develop a reference base assignment. The first section outlines the experiment while the remainder of the chapter is devoted to the development of the base reference assignment.

7.1

Design of Experiment

After several months of attempting to model freeway congestion in a realistic fashion, it was decided that despite the limitations of the model with respect to freeway congestion, attention would be given to modelling the Smart Corridor with the CONTRAM model. With the goal of determination of the benefits of in-vehicle information systems, the experiment was designed as shown in Figure 7.1. The first step was to develop a reference base assignment and simulation that as closely as possible represented the Santa Monica Smart Corridor. The remainder of this chapter is devoted to discussion of this process. Since, from the previous study [3], the benefits for non-incident conditions were found to be relatively small, the next step was to model a freeway incident. Two incidents were created and are discussed in Chapter 8. Once the incidents were created, tests were begun to evaluate the benefits of in-vehicle information systems. Investigations were made with varying percentages of equipped vehicles from 0 to 100 percent. Chapter 9 describes the results of the experiments with varying percentages of equipped vehicles.

7.2

Network Description and Calibration

Figure 7.2 presents the network modelled and used in the analysis. Approximately nine miles of the SMART Corridor with two parallel arterials were coded into the model. The eastern boundary of the network is the Harbor Freeway, while the western boundary is LaCienega Boulevard. In addition to the Santa Monica Freeway, the two parallel arterials coded were Washington Boulevard and Adams Boulevard. Ten major north-south streets connecting Washington, Adams, and the Santa Monica Freeway were coded as well. As previously mentioned, the previous project (PATH-ITS-UCB-PRR-88-2) provided a comprehensive data base for this analysis, in the form of FREQ and TRANSYT input files. All data provided by the previous project represents the year 1987. Some updated information regarding speed-flow relationships provided by Caltrans was used as well.

The coded network is composed of approximately 200 arterial links. A uniform free-flow speed of 35 miles per hour was adopted for the arterials. The link throughput capacity was determined by the rules described in Section 5.1-l. The signal timing data were taken from the earlier study as well. Some minor modifications were made in the signal timings, especially at freeway ramp intersections, to improve the simulation of the network. The freeway part of the corridor is composed of 51 uncontrolled links. The westbound direction is represented by 23 uncontrolled links, while the eastbound direction is made up of 26 uncontrolled links. Two additional links were used to represent the Harbor Freeway at the eastern boundary of the system. A uniform free-flow speed of 60 miles per hour was used on all freeway links. On the basis of the experiments described in Chapter 6, no speed-flow relationships were used and each link throughput capacity was input as the corresponding FREQ capacity. The storage capacity was determined by the standard default formula using the minimum distance headway of 20 meters which was found to be optimum after calibration as described in Chapter 6. The freeway network includes 24 on-ramps (11 for the westbound direction and 13 for the eastbound direction). These links were coded in CONTRAM as signalized links with 100 percent green time. Thus, ramp metering was not modelled as a part of this project. A uniform free-flow speed of 30 miles per hour was used on freeway ramps.

7.3

Corridor Demand

To achieve a realistic demand level and pattern, a three step process was undertaken. The three steps consisted of the following:

1)

creation of an origin-destination matrix;

2)

using the COMEST program, the origin-destination estimator described in Chapter 4;

3)

manipulation of the COMEST output to create a more realistic demand level

The third step, manipulation of the COMEST output, was necessary because of the crude nature of the original origin-destination matrix which was created in step one. The following paragraphs outline the procedures taken to reach a final origin-destination matrix with demand levels similar to those used in the previous study of the SMART Corridor.

62

7.3.1

Initial Origin-Destination Matrix Generation

As mentioned in Chapter 4, CONTRAM requires the user to input an origin-destination matrix. For this particular application there was not detailed enough origin-destination information available as mentioned in Chapter 5. Although the City of Los Angeles did provide origin-destination information for the vicinity in and around the SMART Corridor, due to the coarse nature of the data and the time and resource considerations, it was decided that the best option was to create a fictitious origin-destination matrix based on traffic counts provided in the previous study and then apply the COMEST program to reach a realistic representation of the demand throughout the corridor. The first step in creating the fictitious origin-destination matrix was to determine where origins and destinations were to be located. The decision was made to create external origins and destinations as shown in Figure 7.3. This decision was made primarily because information regarding the total number of vehicles entering and exiting each newly created external origin-destination link was readily available for the time period from 790 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. No internal origins and destinations were created since the primary sinks and sources within the corridor were not well understood, and they were considered to be less important than the external sinks and sources. Once the locations of the origins and destinations were decided, the total number of vehicles entering and exiting each link for the time period from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. were entered into a spreadsheet as shown in Figure 7.4. Once the row and column sums of the matrix were fixed, the next step was to balance the entries in the matrix. This step was done mostly by trial and error with the assistance of the graph shown in Figure 7.5. The objective of the fictitious origin-destination matrix was to help lead the COMEST program in the proper direction through the use of the observed link counts. A final fictitious matrix was chosen and a CONTRAM run was made. The CONTRAM run provided the COMEST program with the necessary packet route file and an original origin destination matrix from which to work.

7.3.2

Use of the COMEST Program

The second step in the corridor demand analysis was to create an “observed traffic count“ file from the data provided in the Al-Deek, Martello, Sanders and May study [3] on TRANSYT and FREQ runs for the time period from 790 a.m. to 890 a.m. For the initial application of COMEST every link in the network was input to the observed traffic count file. After many iterations of COMEST and CONTRAM it was discovered that there were too many links for COMEST to balance the traffic counts. The demand

pattern created by COMEST. was not very realistic due to the coarse nature of the original “fictitious” origin-destination information. To achieve a demand pattern representative of those provided by reference [3], the best results were provided by COMEST when the only observed link counts input were those counts on the eastbound freeway and the corresponding ramp junctions. The relationship between CONTRAM and COMEST as explained in ‘Chapter 4 was next used to generate a final origin-destination matrix. Four CONTRAMCOMEST iterations were conducted to obtain the final demand pattern for the 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. time period.

7.3.3 Final Origin-Destination Matrix Once the demand pattern provided by the COMEST runs was satisfactory for the 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. time period, the next step in the process was to develop origin-destination information for the eight 30minute time slices from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Based on information provided by the previous study [3] and information regarding the performance of the system, the demand was manipulated to create an origin-destination matrix for the eight time slices. Table 7.1 displays the time slices and corresponding level of demand factors. Table 7.1 Corresponding Time Slice Demands

Once the demand factors were applied, a final origin-destination matrix was completed. The resulting sums from each origin and destination per time slice are shown in Figure 7.6. This matrix was then used as the demand information for the base CONTRAM run.

7.4

Base’Run Validation

Three key areas were examined to validate the model’s representation of the Smart Corridor. The first area was that of route choice and travel times/speeds. The second area of concern was that of bottleneck location on the freeway and the corresponding queuing pattern. The final validation process was in the overall network statistics. The following paragraphs describe the three major steps taken in the base run reference assignment validation.

7.4.1 Travel Times/Route Choice A critical element to the successful modelling of the Smart Corridor is to achieve an equilibrium assignment whereby the travel times via different routes between various sets of origins and destinations are not significantly different. If the travel times differ by a large magnitude then not much diversion will be seen even with a very severe incident. From the work described in Chapter 6, it was recognized that the freeway travel times were slightly lower than real life due to the fact that the speeds within the congested portions of the network are too high. With that in mind, travel time comparisons were made between a route on each parallel arterial only and a route on the freeway only. Figure 7.7 shows the travel time comparisons from Origin 1 to Destination 14, which is a freeway Origin to a freeway Destination. The travel times on the parallel arterials (Adams and Washington) include times on the freeway at the beginning and end of the route as well as the times taken to enter and exit the freeway. Thus, a second comparison was drawn and is shown in Figure 7.8. This comparison is made from freeway link 11 to link 29, which represents the length of Adams and Washington from Fairfax to Hoover. As seen in the figure, travel times on the arterial are much closer to that of the freeway in the heaviest demand time slices. As the demand decreases the difference in travel times increases. The second key element of travel time/speed is that of route choice. This was done primarily through the use of UFPASC (User Friendly Post Analysis System for CONTRAM) program. The UFPASC is an interactive program for examining the outputs from CONTRAM runs. The UFPASC produces tabular and graphical outputs for selected parameters from the results file produced by CONTRAM. UFPASC uses a menu system to set up the analysis stages for producing the selected outputs. UFPASC allows selective investigations of the results file produced by CONTRAM. 68

Thus, by using UFPASC a number of origin destination pairs were chosen and evaluated. An example of such an output is shown in Figure 7.9. As seen in the figure, the route chosen by most is that of the freeway. The average speeds and travel times shown in the figure represent averages over all time slices. The routes chosen from origin to destination were also examined to make sure they were reasonable.

7.4.2 Bottleneck Location/Queuing Pattern A key validation measure was that of freeway bottleneck location and queue length. Bottlenecks were identified in subsections 14 and 29 which match the work reported in Chapter 6. While the bottlenecks were identified in the same subsections as before, the queuing pattern was not exactly the same. Since the demand pattern is much more complex, it was not possible to achieve the same queuing pattern as before. However, the pattern as shown in Figure 7.10 does closely match that of the work described in Chapter 6. The main difference between the previous freeway-only work and the corridor base simulation run is that the queues do not back up as far from subsection 29 as before. In the freeway-only work, the queues from subsections 14 and 29 collided. In the base reference assignment, the queuing is not as severe as that described in Chapter 6 where the freeway only is modelled. However, because the bottlenecks were properly identified and the demand patterns were reasonable it was felt that existing queuing pattern shown in Figure 7.10 was acceptable to continue with the experiment. Therefore, it was concluded that comparisons made to the base reference assignments would be acceptable for analysis.

7.4.3

Overall Corridor Wide Summary Information

From a system-wide perspective, the amount of free moving delay compared to the amount of flow delay and delay caused by queuing was examined for its reasonableness. The total distance travelled, the overall network speed, and the total final queues were all examined for reasonableness. Table 7.2 presents the overall network summary information for the base reference corridor assignment. As seen in the table, the overall network speed is approximately 30 miles per hour which is in a reasonable range. The total freemoving time as compared to the delay due to queuing is also in a reasonable range. Appendix E contains a condensed input and output of the base reference assignment.

INCIDENT MODELLING

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the techniques applied within the CONTRAM model and to report the results of modelling an incident on the freeway. The incidents modelled, the techniques applied within CONTRAM, and the results of the efforts are discussed within this chapter. The modelling of an incident on the freeway in conjunction with the modelling of in-vehicle information systems illustrates the benefits to both the equipped vehicles and non-equipped vehicles as well as system-wide results which will be reported in Chapters 9 and 10.

8.1

Incident Scenario

Two likely incident scenarios were created to evaluate the potential benefits of in-vehicle information systems. The key elements which comprise the modelling of an incident are:

1) 2) 3)

location; severity; duration.

8.1.1 Location To determine an appropriate location for an incident, the first consideration used was whether or not the location of the incident caused the freeway congestion to back up out of the initial boundary of the freeway or extend beyond the last time slice. If the congestion were to back out of the first subsection on the freeway, the results would be inaccurate as the number of vehicles in the system would not be comparable across different simulation runs. The second key consideration was to locate an incident in a subsection in such a manner as to cause a congestion pattern quite different from the normal congestion pattern. Thus, the subsections more towards the middle of the freeway section were given consideration as the location of an incident. Two different locations for two separate incident run scenarios were chosen to simulate. The first incident was located in subsection 20. The second run was made with an incident in subsection 22.

76

8.1.2 Incident Severity and Duration Many different types of incidents can occur on a freeway section. An incident on the freeway typically reduces the capacity of the subsection where the incident occurred. This capacity reduction can be at various levels and extend over time in different patterns. The following paragraphs describe the two separate incidents modelled. 8.1.2.1

Slight Incident

The first incident (hereafter referred to as the slight incident scenario), was modelled as occurring in subsection 20. The incident began in time slice 4 and reduced the capacity from 10900 vph to 7500 vph for the 30 minutes in time slice 4. The incident was modelled to last into time slice 5. During time slice 5, the capacity was reduced from 10900 vph to 8500 vph. This incident is the equivalent of having approximately one and a half lanes blocked in time slice 4, while in time slice 5, one-half lane is reopened. 8.1.2.2

Severe Incident

The second incident (hereafter referred to as the severe incident), was modelled as occurring in subsection 22. The incident began in time slice 3 and reduced the capacity from 12100 vph to 6900 vph for the one hour in time slices 3 and 4. This incident is the equivalent of having approximately two and a half lanes blocked.

8.2

Incident Modelling Within CONTRAM

The following sections outline the methodology and results of the slight and severe incident simulation runs. Along with results, conclusions are presented at the end of the chapter.

8.2.1 Methodology The following procedures were used to model an incident within CONTRAM. The first step in the process was to make a base run in CONTRAM with the capacity reduced in the subsection where the incident has occurred. This was accomplished through the use of Card Type 12. Card Type 12 allows the user to override any capacities calculated by CONTRAM except smaller reduced capacities arising

77

from blocking back. The. link number is entered followed by the capacity of the link in each corresponding time slice. A three-step process is conducted to model an incident within CONTRAM. The first step in the process is to make a base run (described in Chapter 7), whereby all drivers have 100 percent information and are taking their shortest routes. The second step involves the use of RODIN as described in Chapter 4. A RODIN run is conducted with no vehicles having information systems thereby being set to their fixed routes. The final step in the process is to make another CONTRAM run with the new network where the capacity of the subsection is reduced through the use of Card Type 12.

8.2.2 Results

Figure 8.1 presents the output queuing pattern on the eastbound Santa Monica for the slight incident scenario and the base run (described in Chapter 7). Based on a comparison of Figures 7.10 and 8.1 it can be concluded that the slight incident scenario does not change the queuing pattern substantially. It should also be noted that there is little increase in the amount of congestion as a result of the incident. Table 8.1 presents the network wide summary information for the slight incident as well. Figure 8.2 presents the output queuing pattern on the eastbound Santa Monica for the severe incident and the base run. As a result of the incident, the more queuing occurs and the pattern changes. There is a significant increase in the amount of congestion as a result of the incident. Table 8.2 presents the network-wide summary information for severe incident as well. As a result of the incident runs, questions began to arise as to both the severity and duration of the congestion as predicted by CONTRAM in both incident situations. Therefore, a FREQ analysis was conducted to compare the queuing pattern projected by FREQ to that provided by CONTRAM. Figure 8.3 presents the queuing pattern for both the slight and severe incident as predicted by FREQ. As seen in the figure, the congestion predicted by CONTRAM is not nearly as severe or as long lasting as that of FREQ. Due to time constraints, a thorough investigation as to why the discrepancies occurred could not be conducted. Thus, it was concluded that despite the fact that congestion was much less severe in CONTRAM than as predicted by FREQ, an analysis would be conducted using the severe incident scenario since, as a result of the incident, there was a change in the queuing pattern and an increase in the amount of congestion on the freeway. This deficiency in CONTRAM will be discussed later. Since the slight incident scenario did not result in much change in the queuing pattern on the freeway and not

SIMULATION RESULTS UNDER SEVERE INCIDENT SCENARIO

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the methodology and analysis results of the investigation into the benefits derived from in-vehicle information systems under the severe incident scenario. The first part of the chapter describes the methodology and techniques used to obtain results from the modelling process. The results are then broken down into both system-wide performance measures and benefits for both guided and unguided vehicles.

9.1

Methodology: Modelling Guidance Systems in CONTRAM

In order to model guidance systems within the CONTRAM model the RODIN program as described in Chapter 4 was used. RODIN is external software program developed by Nick Taylor (TRRL) and is intended to simulate route guidance. This program converts a packet route file output produced by a standard CONTRAM into an origin-destination matrix and a set of routes which it embeds as fixed routes in a copy of the network file. The origin-destination movements are duplicated and each set is preceded by a percentage multiplying or split factor. The network and demand files are then rerun in RODIN. The first set of origins-destinations is assigned on the fixed routes (i.e. along the original routes, which are the minimum time path routes before the incident), while the second set is assigned to minimum cost routes. This provides a framework in which experiments involving two user classes (guided and unguided vehicles) can be performed. RODIN is also designed to provide: 0

0 0

a choice of methods for setting packet sizes; alternate vehicle class for the second set of 0-Ds; randomization of the output O-D counts.

An important point about this procedure is that the fixed and free routed trips are dynamically integrated so that each affects the routes of the others in an expected way. Once a RODIN base run under the severe incident scenario with 0 percent equipped vehicles was complete, a series of CONTRAM runs with varying percentages of equipped vehicles was chosen to be evaluated under the severe incident scenario. The percentages of in-vehicle information equipped vehicles chosen for examination was 0, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90 and 100. It was felt that a range of 0 to 100 with five points in-between would identify where the benefits would be the greatest and/or would describe any trends that may develop.

85

9.2

Analysis Results

An analysis of system-wide benefits and benefits to the users and non-users of the in-vehicle information system was conducted. The first step in the process was to evaluate the system wide results via the system-wide measures output from each CONTRAM run for the varying percentages of equipped vehicles under the severe incident scenario. The second phase of the evaluation was through the use of UFPASC as described in Chapter 7.

9.2.1 System-Wide Results Table 9.1 displays the results from a system-wide perspective. As seen in the table, the results of the simulation under the severe incident situation indicate that 100 percent of the vehicles on the road equipped with in-vehicle information systems provides the greatest benefit to the system in terms of total system travel time, travel time per vehicle, and speed. Total system travel time is perhaps one of the most important measures of system-wide performance. The total system travel was 12,360 vehicle-hours under the non-incident base run. Under the severe incident scenario but with all unguided vehicles, the total system travel time increased to 15,194 vehiclehours, a difference of 2,834 vehicle-hours. As the percentage of guided vehicles increased under the incident scenario, the total system travel time decreased from 15,194 to 13,101 vehicle-hours, a reduction of 2,093 vehicle-hours. This would indicate that the adverse effect of the incident was significantly reduced under guided vehicle situations. In addition to the varying percentages of equipped vehicles under the severe incident scenario, the base run without the incident where all vehicles choose their fastest route is shown. As seen in the table, at 100 percent, equipped vehicles under severe incident conditions, the speeds are only slightly lower and the travel times are only slightly higher than those under the no-incident, 100 percent, guided base run. It also appears as though at either 50 percent equipped vehicles, or 75 percent equipped vehicles, a quirk in the data occurred. For all other percentages between 0 and 50 and 75 to 100 the findings were consistent in that the more equipped vehicles, the more benefit was accrued to the system. However, the data between 50 and 75 percent equipped did not follow that trend. The quirk in the data will be pursued in future research as was not possible in this project.

I,

Figure 9.1 displays the increase in average speed, network-wide under the severe incident scenario. As seen in the figure, an increase of approximately 17 percent is obtained for 100 percent informationsystem-equipped vehicles. The average travel time per vehicle is displayed in Figure 9.2. The travel time per vehicle on average is network wide from each O-D pair. As seen in the figure, the average travel time per vehicle decreases from slightly more than 10 minutes to less than 9 minutes for 100 percent equipped. This represents a reduction of approximately 14 percent over the nine-mile-long, two-mile-wide corridor for each vehicle on average, as presented in Figure 9.3. It is difftcult to make conclusive remarks regarding the time saved per vehicle because the average trip length is not very long. An average trip length of over 20 to 25 minutes is more desirable. However, the system-wide results provided by this analysis indicate that the greatest benefits are obtained when all vehicles are equipped with in-vehicle information systems. Assuming optimal data is given to all drivers and that all drivers follow their recommendations. Figure 9.4 presents the percent decrease in total queues, network-wide under the severe incident scenario. As seen in the figure, a decrease of almost 35 percent is obtained with 100 percent of the vehicles having in-vehicle information. From the figure it can be concluded that the guided vehicles are diverting to avoid the major queues. Whether or not travellers purchase the IVHS equipment and the various percentages of equipped vehicles occur, depends on two major factors. First, do “IVHS” guided vehicles benefit significantly enough to justify their expenditure of funds for such equipment, and second, will all users and the general public be supported by governmental-supported traffic control centers? In order to begin to address these 87

questions, benefits to travehers in guided and unguided vehicles need to be assessed. This initial assessment is discussed in the next section. All benefits are also based on the availability of substantial un-used capacity on the parallel arterials.

9.2.2

Benefits to Guided and Unguided Vehicles

To properly evaluate the benefits to both the guided and non-guided vehicles in the system, a procedure was used whereby two classes of vehicles were set up. The first set of vehicles were those that were considered guided, which were free to be assigned on the fastest routes within CONTRAM. The second class of vehicles were the unguided vehicles, which were the vehicles assigned to the fixed routes that did not change regardless of the incident on the freeway. The primary source of information regarding the benefits that both guided and unguided vehicles obtained with the varying percentages of equipped vehicles under the severe incident scenario on the network came from the UFPASC. The UFPASC (User Friendly Post Analysis System for CONTRAM) is an interactive program for examining the outputs from CONTRAM runs. The UFPASC produces tabular and graphical outputs for selected parameters from the results file produced by CONTRAM. UFPASC uses a menu system to set up the analysis stages for producing the selected outputs. UFPASC allows selective investigations of the .RTE and .PAF files produced by CONTRAM. Thus, by using the UFPASC, a number of origin-destination pairs were evaluated. The origin-destination pairs were chosen on the basis of three key considerations:

1)

The O-D pair had to have a reasonably large demand level, at least enough to draw some reasonable conclusions;

2)

The O-D pair had to have the incident on the freeway between the origin and destination. This is a requirement so that there is the opportunity for some significant diversion to occur;

3)

Different O-D pairs would be chosen relative to one another so that a cross section of the different areas of the network would be examined and that both Adams Boulevard and Washington Boulevard would have the opportunity to be used.

On this basis three different O-D pairs were chosen. The three different O-D pairs are highlighted in Figure 9.5. The first O-D pair chosen for evaluation was that of origin 6 to destination 14. Origin 6 is off the arterial Washington Boulevard while destination 14 is at the end of the Santa Monica eastbound freeway, The second O-D pair chosen was origin 1 on the western boundary of the Santa Monica 92

freeway to destination 15 at the eastern end of Washington Boulevard off Figueroa. The third origindestination pair chosen for evaluation was origin 25 off Adams Boulevard to destination 14. Thus, in the three O-D pairs, two originate on the arterial with their final destination being the freeway, while the other pair originates on the freeway and ends on the arterial. Table 9.2 presents the results for the three origin-destination pairs chosen for evaluation in terms of average speed (mph) and average travel time (min) for both guided and unguided vehicles with the varying percentages of in-vehicle information equipped vehicles. This information is an average over all time slices. Time slice by time slice information is only available for the routes selected, not for the route time, distance, and speed. Figures 9.6 - 11 present the information from Table 9.2 in graphical form. As seen in the figures, the guided vehicles have a higher speed and shorter travel time to the destination than the unguided vehicles. Once again, as in the system-wide results, the highest benefits in terms of speed and travel time were found to occur with 100 percent in-vehicle information equipped vehicles. The reliability of the total route distance for both types of vehicles was found to be questionable. It appeared that the same route did not have the same distance in different runs; therefore, the total route distance was not used as part of the analysis. However, analysis was conducted to investigate the routes chosen between different origin-destination pairs for varying percentages of equipped vehicles. Figure 9.12 presents the results of such analysis. The figure shows the two most popular routes chosen for the unguided vehicles and guided vehicles between origin 1 which is on the western boundary of the freeway, and destination 15 which is on the eastern boundary of the network at the end of Washington Boulevard. The figure represents the routes chosen when 75 percent of the vehicles are equipped with in-vehicle information systems under the severe incident scenario. The two most popular routes for the unguided vehicles both travel through the incident on the eastbound Santa Monica Freeway, while for the guided vehicles, the second route of choice was to exit the freeway at the first possible alternative and use Washington to reach destination 15.

General Evaluation

The following assumptions need be noted again to cautiously view the results of this analysis:

Only two of the five parallel arterials within the Smart Corridor were modelled; additionally, three-quarters of the entire length of the Corridor was modelled. Thus, the travel times throughout the corridor are not as large as one would like to evaluate the benefits.

0

The structure of the origin-destination pairings was set up so that all origins and destinations were external to the network. The origin and destination data were very coarse and from point to point, each origin and destination could be reached by either the freeway or the arterial, not both. For example, to get to destination 15, a vehicle must exit the freeway and use Washington Boulevard.

0

Due to the weaknesses in freeway modelling and incident modelling as described in Chapters 6 and 8, the results presented from this analysis should be viewed with caution. The travel times on the freeway are too low during both incident and non-incident conditions thus, diversion to the arterial is not as attractive as it should be.

0

Since this is the first application of RODIN, the results should be viewed with some caution as well.

0

The simulation results in this analysis apply only to the morning peak period. Additionally, the type of incident modelled is atypical and extreme, since it is unlikely that two-and-a-half lanes would be blocked for longer than one-half hour. All analysis for guided versus unguided vehicles was conducted on the traffic heading eastbound toward downtown Los Angeles.

10.0 OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND FUTURE RESEARCH This chapter describes the overall assessment of the completed research. First, the suitability of CONTRAM is described followed by a description of weaknesses of the study outside of the model; then the major findings of the study are presented. Finally, potential future directions regarding the application of a modelling process to evaluate the potential benefits of in-vehicle information systems are discussed.

10.1 Suitability of CONTRAM The CONTRAM model has many features that are well suited to an application such as this. However, there still remain questions about some of its capabilities. This section outlines the strengths and weakness of the model for this particular application.

10.1.1 Strengths

1)

When using the 386 version of CONTRAM 5 and DBOS memory management system, there was no problem in terms of network size limitations and running time for this particular application.

2)

CONTRAM provided evidence of accurate representation of oversaturated conditions on arterials.

3)

The use of COMEST in developing O-D matrices was very helpful. The difficulty of setting up a realistic time-sliced O-D matrix is traditionally one of the main problems encountered in an experiment such as this one.

4)

RODIN provided the capability to distinguish between guided and unguided vehicles. The unguided vehicles were always assigned to the same fixed routes determined by the average daily conditions, without incident. These routes were usually no longer optimum under incident conditions. On the other hand, guided vehicles are assigned to their optimum routes, assuming perfect knowledge of current traffic conditions.

104

10.1.2 Weaknesses - Suggested Improvements

1)

The weakness of CONTRAM in the area of representation of oversaturated conditions on freeways was identified as the most important problem with regard to this application. Although a lot of time was spent in trying to get acceptable results, as described in Chapter 6, many questions were not answered: 0

What type of link (uncontrolled, give-way or signalized) is the most appropriate to code freeway links and on-ramps? As mentioned in Chapter 6, this decision has an effect on the queuing process.

0

How does the concept of “throughput capacity” used by CONTRAM relate to the usual concept of freeway capacity?

0

How can the speed-flow relationships of CONTRAM be used in simulating oversaturation conditions?

0

Is it possible to do any weaving analysis?

0

Some parameters, like the jam headway spacing and points on the speedflow curve can be calibrated on a simple freeway section. How can the calibration information be used when applying the model to a complex corridor network?

2)

The CONTRAM standard assignment assumes that all vehicles take their optimum routes. The base run (no incident) should not be regarded as an accurate representation of average daily conditions. Some drivers do not choose the best route, and this should be accommodated by the model by introducing distortions to the perceived link costs.

3)

Under incident conditions, it was assumed that unguided vehicles always take the same route that used to be optimum under non-incident conditions. It would be realistic to model the spontaneous diversion of unguided vehicles due to sources of information other than the guidance system, like radio information or the direct view of queues in front of them.

4)

The use of RODIN for varying percentages of guided vehicles led to some discrepancies in the demand structure and the total number of vehicles in the system (in the range of 3%). In order to have some comparable results, the demand should be exactly the same. 105

The truncation of link travel times led to some problems in speed calculations. For example, when using a link free-flow speed of 80 km/h in undersaturated conditions, the resulting average speed is not necessarily 80 km/h, as expected. 6)

7)

10.2

Output information useful for this type of analysis which is not provided by CONTRAM such as: 0

aggregate statistics per set of links (Freeway-Arterials);

0

aggregate statistics per vehicle type (Guided-Unguided)

Although the use of UFPASC (described in Chapter 9) for routing analysis was very helpful, some weaknesses were identified: 0

The run time for each O-D pair is a half hour to an hour on a 386 microcomputer;

0

The reliability of the total route distance is questionable, as it appeared that the same route did not have the same distance in different runs;

0

A time slice by time slice analysis would be a useful tool in comparing travel times and travel distances;

0

A network plot showing the two most popular routes for a given O-D pair, vehicle type and time slice would be very useful as well.

Weaknesses of the Study

The improvement of modelling freeway congestion does not alone cure the weaknesses of the study. Weaknesses exist on both the supply and demand side of the modelling process as well. With respect to the supply side, as mentioned in Chapter 5, the Smart Corridor consists of five parallel arterials with approximately 15 cross streets, and is approximately 13 miles long. Due to time and resource limitations, approximately nine miles of the SMART Corridor with two parallel arterials was coded into the model instead of the entire 13 miles and five parallel arterials of the corridor. The eastern boundary of the network is the Harbor Freeway, while the western boundary is LaCienega Boulevard. The two parallel arterials coded were Washington Boulevard and Adams Boulevard. Ten of the 15 major north-south streets connecting Washington, Adams, and the Santa Monica Freeway were coded as well. Thus, with 106

only two parallel arterials the opportunity for diversion is not as great as it would normally be in the Smart Corridor. Additionally, since approximately nine miles of the 13 mile corridor were modelled, the travel times throughout the corridor were not as high as they would normally be due to the reduced travel distance, and diversion from the freeway to the arterial was not as attractive as it might be with a longer travel time. From the demand side, problems exist with both the origin-destination matrix and the structure of the demand over time. The problems with the origin destination information and structure are described in Chapter 7. Only external sinks and sources were used; thus, any major internal sinks and sources within the corridor were neglected. Although using the origin-destinationestimator program, COMEST, assisted in creating a somewhat realistic origindestination matrix, it should be pointed out that the inputs to COMEST are the flows instead of the actual demands. Thus, the demand could be underestimated through use of this program. A second weakness in the demand structure is the variation over time. Based on information provided by the previous study [3] and information regarding the performance of the system, the demand was manipulated to create an origin-destination matrix for eight time slices. Information was only available for the time period of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., and all information for the previous and remaining time slices was factored based on spot trafftc counts. Thus, for the purposes of this study the highest demand was assumed to occur from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. while the demand for the other time slices were factored based on information provided from the previous study. Once again, this is likely not the case and leaves the results of the study open to some question.

10.3 Major Findings

Based on the information provided in the previous two sections, the results of this study should be viewed with some caution. The results should be viewed in a somewhat qualitative manner, the findings being the more vehicles equipped, the better the system performance. As seen in Table 9.1, with a severe incident on the freeway, as the percentage of vehicles equipped with information increases, the performance of the system improves to where the system is at a level of performance that is only slightly less than that before the incident occurred. This degree of improvement is only possible because of the availability of underutilized capacity on the arterials parallel to the freeway. Chapter 9 describes in greater detail the results of the analysis.

10.4 Future Research

1)

The representation of oversaturated conditions on freeways. As previously mentioned,

some difficulties were encountered in the modelling of the freeway portion of the 107

SMART Corridor. Any further application of CONTRAM to this type of network will have to carefully address this question. The authors of the model reported that Southampton University has recently conducted research on modelling congestion on freeways by varying the randomness parameter in the queuing formula [23]. This is similar to the approach suggested some years ago by Davidson [24] and could be repeated using the current version of CONTRAM. However, it is not clear how relevant this method is. 27re use of ROGUS. ROGUS is a program currently under development at TRRL to simulate route guidance based on the CONTRAM model. Because of time constraints it was not possible to use ROGUS in this phase of the study, though it could be used in an extension of the project. ROGUS consists of two main parts: Modified CONTRAM and ROGUWAda.

a>

Modified CONTRAM is responsible for generating the base loading of unguided vehicles, and differs from standard CONTRAMS only in its ability to distort drivers’ perception of link costs to simulate their lack of perfect information, and

b)

ROGUS/Ada reassigns a certain proportion of the unguided vehicles to simulate guided vehicles. The method of assignment is event-based using simulated beacon information which itself is based on the historical data and simulated real-time data from detectors and vehicle-to-beacon communications.

Ihe application and simulation of d$erent trajk management strategies. It would be interesting to compare the effects of guidance systems with some other corridor management strategies like signal optimization and coordination to determine how the benefits compare and if the benefits are cumulative. laze potential re-investigation of the IIVlEGRAlTON model. The model is now available for investigation. It might be worthwhile to reevaluate the application of the INTEGRATION model to the Smart Corridor.
